I’ve written 10 wines to give as gifts for the holidays, but I couldn’t stop at just that number, because I’m a classic example of a woman who changes her mind 1000 times with a shopping list in her hand. So, being 2022, I ended up with 22 wines! <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

How do I choose wines for gifts?<\/b><\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

My friends usually call me exactly when they are in the wine shop, in front of the wine shelf, with the question: \u201cwhat wine to buy, as a gift for some friends who are returning to the country or are not Romanian I would like them to remember that they received the wine from me, from Romania?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

What to answer, as usually, such phone calls come when I am with food on the stove, or when I am washing some glasses and my hands are full of washing-up liquid. At the end of the line, you can’t see that the man is waiting in front of the shelf and I have to answer! <\/span><\/p>\n

“Choose a wine from a Romanian winery!” This is the first answer that comes to mind in such a situation. If I’m not that caught off guard: “Choose a Romanian variety, go for rose, as it pleases everyone and is very versatile, it can accompany any type of food, from salty to sweet”. If he\/ she hasn’t interrupted me from an overly complex activity, I sit down and ask helpful questions. <\/span><\/p>\n

The caller is not interested in the fact that tastes in wine are questionable. He wouldn’t be satisfied with an answer such as: what I like, your guests may not like. He knows that, in the case of such a dilemma, he can “call a friend” and then, whatever the outcome, be reassured that he has been advised by a “specialist”. <\/span><\/p>\n

And so, the spirit of the Holidays will penetrate me either with joy, if the person who was given the gift will be pleasantly impressed by the wine received as a gift at my recommendation, or with sorrow if I didn’t get it right and at the end of the bottle there was a bitter smile, because either he doesn’t like sweet wine, or he doesn’t like dry wine, or sparkling wine is not part of the shortlist, or… but there’s a problem for every solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don’t like the wine you received as a gift on my advice, organize an ad hoc auction and buy what you like with the money you get or donate it to a noble cause.<\/span><\/p>\n

After going through my suggested list, I still hope you’ll save the bottle for a romantic evening, open it at the first event with friends or, by no means the worst choice, make a mulled wine for an evening in warm socks with a soft blanket on your lap at a light movie or talent show.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As a rule, I made the list and left without it. Since smart technology, with the list in the phone, it’s much easier. And if I don’t know something about the label in front of me on the shelf, there’s the internet. Equally, for inspiration, you can consult the list I suggest. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I started with them because no matter how you wrap the bottle when you unwrap the gift and look at the translucent pink of the liqueur, you can feel a sense of well-being, calm, and fantasy. Pink can’t make anyone sad, it can bring a smile to anyone’s face, from a child to a senior, like a gentle hug in the middle of the road. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
